Would love to contact daughter?

Question

My daughter was born on the 19th January 1978 in Devonport Tasmania and her name is Lisa I would absolutely love to hear from her or anyone who can give me details about her life

Answer 1

If you gave this child up for adoption - contact DOCS in Tasmania and apply for identifying information.

Adoption records are open (thankfully) in Australia.

It's a matter of acquiring the information through the proper channels - then you can search from there - and they may even be able to help you with the search.

I wish you all the very best with your search.

ETA: feel free to contact me once you have the information if you need further help with the search.

ETA2: I'd go to the electoral commission and try to find a current address - and just write a letter - saying hi - telling her a little about yourself - not pushing - just saying you'd like to hear from her - you mean no harm - you're open to any questions she may have - and letting her know your address future reference.

I do hope she replied to you.

Answer 2

You need to send your info to the ISRR. If she also sends her info, they will match you together and you can meet.

Thats the best place to go.

Sign up on as many registries you can and post her birthname and birthday, so if she searches she can find you.

Answer 3

I don't know if this will help but I am adopted. When people ask me if I want to meet my birth parents I say no. Why? I don't know....sometimes I think what I would really do if they contacted me saying they wanted to be in my life. I know some adopted kids would say it's because they don't want to meet someone that gave them up....but I don't feel that way. I have never been contacted by my birth parents...I don't even know if they are alive. But, I do know that I love my paernts I have now and there was a reason I was adopted. It sounds like your trying to do the right thing by trying to be in her life agin but...is it really for the best? Pray about it :)

Answer 4

If you know the adoptive parents you could contact them.  I would say be careful though.  They may tell her and you don't want to further alienate her.  I would make it clear that you would just like to know how she is and understand and respect her in her decision not to have contact.

Answer 5

You will then need to search for her. Which is a pretty big process especially because there has been a huge time gap.

You can try to look her up on plenty of sites. Try to google "people finder" and you can enter what you know about her and you should get a list of people with the same name. Although you should be aware that her last name might have changed, because she is of age to have been married.

your other option is to contact the adoption registry in your area (or your agency if you used one) to see if she tried to contact you.

Good luck, please know this is a very long tough road
